I doubt Mikey has gone but even if he has, I haven't, and I'm about as left wing as you're likely to get so you'll have to make do with me til his return.
You are all lamenting the demise of the Blairite Factions within Labour, but why? By your own admissions none of you are Labour voters, so why would it bother you that in their turn, just as they ousted Militant from their ranks all those years ago they too are now being ousted? Why do you want the Labour party, a traditionally Socialist party, to be some sort of quasi water down Tory Party? Labour's internal affairs are it's own business, and the business of party members like myself, I couldn't care less what the Tories get up, and let's face it there is plenty, and in terms of pogroms and back stabbings they could teach us a thing or two. Have at it folks, but it makes zero sense, but what actually does make sense to the electorate is to have two parties, one right of centre and one left of centre, not two milling about in the middle virtually indistinguishable from one another, but I suppose that's when all of our fears kick in, my fear that the increasingly right wing Tories might get in again and imho destroy my country and your fears that Labour might prevail and do the same thing in your opinion. It's all a personal choice but it's good for the electorate for the parties to be far more vastly different than they were. What we don't need is Social Media being policed, as freedom of speech is vital for us all, not just the left, however we need to ensure that trolls and abusers are dealt with ( across all parties) by the full force of the law, there is and should never be room for threats and abuse that go beyond free speech and stray into the arena of harrassment and bullying but left wing party vs right wing party that gives everyone a voice if we all keep our heads.
